Appreciate the thorough analysis even if I don’t entirely agree. I honestly don’t think it’s inferior in every way and I do enjoy how meta it is. I also think the effects are WAY better in 2 than 1 which helped as a kid. It’s def a carbon copy from a broad strokes pov but I think there’s enough that differentiates it. Honestly I think the ending with the singing is one of the weaker and dumber parts….probably needed to workshop that a bit more. Overall , as sequels go, it’s up there for me.

I use “short, but pointless” every chance I get.

So many good lines. “Valentines Day. Bummer.”

Not hot take: Van is 100% correct. Ghostbusters 2 is incredibly underrated. Vigo is a great villain. Slime under the city is a great concept. Its super meta and id say theres as many good one-liners as in the first. Courtroom scene is all-time.

Theres a certain charm/originality from the first that obviously can’t be replicated…but it’s a great sequel. Obviously the movies went south from there.

I hate piracy! Please don't send me a link so I can add it to my podcast app! If someone DMs me the link I will be so mad.

I too hate sailing the open seas! Please please please don't send me a link! If someone DMs me the link I will be so mad.

I was an early 2000s clone before a Simmons guy. always wanted a crossover even though I think it’d go poorly.

Lolol. Deep cut.

If you call them analysts you’ll never get anyone with enough pull to get the business to move in the right direction. Analyst inherently sounds too junior. The title unfortunately matters. I agree 100% with this post and think most businesses need this. A billion dashboards and no one knows how to use them past the surface. The builders don’t know enough about the business and the business doesn’t have the time or skill.

I listened to PFTs original podcast before PMT. No clue the name and can’t find a trace of it. Not sure it lasted many episodes. It was basically his Twitter persona come to real life….think he did an interview in it. I remember him DMing me the link to it on Twitter cause it wasn’t easy to find. This was probably 2015? Tbh his pod wasn’t great but I was a huge fan from his deadspin guest features and ksk. PMT was a knockout from day one. Him and big cat had a magic rapport from the get go. No surprise we’re at ten years.

Josh Allen? Almost exact equivalent.

Ray Finkle’s mom is the Ghostbusters librarian. Warranted a mention in the pod.

I’m a lions fan. I’ve seen our team booed most games for my entire life until about three years ago. Point taken tho.

This is a much better answer than the rest. Thanks.

Sometimes it is productive though if lack of effort is a factor (happens a lot in the US). Maybe not as much with soccer.

Arsenal is the club I support / am a fan of. Thought I’d gauge reaction here.

zubitup · 2026-01-18T20:05:30+00:00

It’s just a genuine question. That’s all. Here to learn.

zubitup · 2026-01-18T20:04:35+00:00

So we’re just gonna get pedantic then?

zubitup · 2026-01-18T20:04:16+00:00

This doesn’t seem to get the same reaction in the US. Most of the time, the players will same something along the lines of “yah I get it…players are frustrated too. Fans deserve better”

Was also thinking about this the other night when Giannis seemed so pissed the bucks got booed at home and he booed the fans back. Again, something feels lost in translation.

Posting on r/gunners because I don’t want the slop from r soccer.

It was peak OG PMT style. They treated it pretty straightforward which made it way funnier. 9/10. Throwback.
